Where To Find The Cheapest HDB Flats, Condos, And Landed Homes In 2023 (By District)
If you’re house-hunting in 2023, the prices you’re seeing may still be prompting anxiety attacks. New launches are increasingly out of reach (a new high was reached for 2023 so far), even for upgraders; and resale prices are also creeping to new heights. In light of this, we’ve picked out the cheapest recorded transactions for condos, HDB flats, and landed homes. While there’s no guarantee you can get the same prices, this at least provides a clue on where to start:
A shortlist filtered by price, size or tenure is a useful way to narrow your options, but it won’t tell you which property is the best fit for your finances, lifestyle or long-term plans.
That’s where the real evaluation begins: comparing the trade-offs between each option to decide which one makes the most sense for your situation.
Over time, that’s also why we decided to work with agents who shared the same data-driven and advisory-led approach behind our editorial, consultants who could help readers think through decisions more objectively, rather than simply push transactions.
Today, the team has worked with more than 2,000 clients across over $5B in property transactions.

We know that for most, 3-room or smaller flats are not suitable; but look at the prices and the HDB towns. If you’re willing to settle for a bit less space, locations like Bedok, Bishan, and even Marine Parade seem to be attainable at $350,000 or less.
Here are some locations we find especially interesting:
1. Block 91 Commonwealth Drive (3-room)
Many people we spoke to – some of them even realtors – refused to believe you can get a Queenstown resale flat for $250,000. But this does exist, with a catch:
This HDB block dates to 1967, and it is visibly older. Due to the lease decay, we don’t think younger Singaporeans will be interested. However, the Commonwealth MRT station (EWL) is less than 10 minute’s walk from this block – and keep in mind this is just one stop from Buona Vista station. Apart from being next to The Star Vista (a major mall), Buona Vista connects to the CCL, so residents here can get to Holland V at surprising speed.
If you don’t mind a smaller and older flat, this is an impressive location for the price. Just don’t count on resale value though, as the units are almost halfway through their remaining lease.
2. Block 3 Queens Road (4-room)
If you like the peace and quiet of Bukit Timah, and don’t mind a block that dates to 1974, this may interest you. At $588,000, Block 3 is not the cheapest on our 4-room list; but it’s impressive for the location.
Block 3 is located just across the road from Farrer Road MRT station (CCL). This connects to Holland V in just one stop, or to Botanic Gardens MRT, where you can switch to the DTL. As such, residents can be said to have easy access to two lines.
There’s also a slew of popular eateries right downstairs, and Coronation Plaza nearby has an NTUC FairPrice. Good Bukit Timah locations are hard to find at these prices.
3. Block 138 Edgedale Plains
At $495,000 for a 5-room flat, that’s considered really decent in the current climate. Perhaps the Punggol location, along with the lower recorded prices, cause people to assume it’s ulu or inconvenient. Here’s how it stacks up:
Block 138 is just a short stroll to Coral Edge LRT (around five minutes if you cut across Coral Edge Park), and this provides quick access to Punggol MRT station (NEL and CRL). Not to mention Coral Edge LRT is close to Punggol Plaza, which has an NTUC FairPrice.
Punggol is also not as underdeveloped as it used to be, especially since the opening of Waterway Point. This is close to the Punggol MRT station, so residents at Edgedale Plains have fast access to the mall and eateries as well.
The block dates to 2003, so while it’s getting on in years, it’s not so old that it’s beyond consideration for younger couples.

There are no surprising names on this list, and market watchers will quickly identify the usual suspects. For those unfamiliar with the condo market, we’ll clear up two usual points of confusion:
People’s Park Complex is almost always the cheapest based on price psf (you’ll almost always see it at the top if you search for the cheapest). But note that it’s very old (the lease started in 1968), you’re living mainly on top of massage parlours and travel agencies, and there are aggressive en-bloc attempts being made.
The Hillford has a low average quantum for its location, but this is because it’s on a 60-year lease that started in 2013. It was intended as a high-end retirement option for seniors (but ended up being bought by much younger residents too).
Here are a few other noteworthy projects:
Alexis
Alexis offers only one to three bedders but in a huge range of different layouts for its 293 units. With the ABSD being so high, landlords may see an opportunity with the lower-quantum one-bedders here, rather than larger units elsewhere. And Alexis is very rentable:
The condo is only around a six-to-seven-minute walk to Queenstown MRT (EWL), with Anchorpoint Mall being about the same distance. There’s a Cold Storage outlet here. It’s also reasonably close to IKEA Alexandra and Queensway, making it a convenient city fringe location for potential tenants.
Sunshine Plaza
If you don’t care about nice views or low-density enclaves, and you prize convenience above all, Sunshine Plaza may be your go-to project. The commercial component isn’t much to speak of – it’s a few small shops (mainly known for printing services) and eateries downstairs.
But Sunshine Plaza is a three-minute walk to Bencoolen MRT station (DTL) and a six-minute walk to Bras Basah MRT station (CCL). If you walk for around 10 to 12 minutes you can get all the way to Plaza Singapura, which is connected to the Dhoby Ghaut MRT station (CCL, NEL, NSL).
As for amenities, proximity to Bugis means the amenities can rival pricier and newer condos like Midtown Modern. Sunshine Plaza is around a seven-minute walk to Bugis Junction via Middle Road (which by the way means you have access to Bugis MRT – so add the EWL to the mix of train lines).
Sunshine Plaza is close to roads, lacks greenery, and isn’t the prettiest residence – but if you want accessibility and amenities on a budget, this becomes a very useful condo.
Loft @ Nathan
If you must live near the Great World area but are on a budget, the smaller units at Loft @ Nathan may interest you. It’s a bit of a longer walk to Great World (around 10 to 12 minutes), but it is manageable on foot.
Great World is also connected to the MRT station of the same name, on the Thomson East Coast Line.
For closer day-to-day amenities, Valley Point is just across River Valley Road. This provides an NTUC FairPrice, along with a good number of eateries (you do have food options right below too). And as most regulars of the area know, River Valley Road has a cluster of well-known eateries where it meets Kellock Road – this area is just around a five-minute walk from Loft @ Nathan.
Landlords may also consider this project, given its convenience and city fringe location.

Cheapest landed by $PSF
There are invariably questions here about entries like Fuyong Estate, where you may see a quantum of under $800,000. These landed homes are so cheap because they’re leasehold, and the low prices are usually accurate indicators of age (Fuyong Estate’s lease started in 1947).
That said, take the landed prices with a grain of salt. There’s a limit to how accurate we can make these, as landed transactions tend to be few and far between; sometimes the same house doesn’t change hands for a decade, making the last transaction price inaccurate as a guide.
Landed homes still require old-school legwork and individual house-hunting, to spot the best buys.
A shortlist sorted by one variable is a fast way to narrow your options, but the pick that’s cheapest, biggest, or most convenient isn’t always the one that fits your situation best.
If you’d like to discuss how this applies to your own circumstances, you can reach out for a one-to-one consultation here.
